Courgette purée
- Age: 6–8 months (First tastes)
- Texture: Purée
- Prep: 3 min
- Cook: 8 min
- Makes: 3 portions
Ingredients
- 1 medium courgette
- 1 tsp olive oil
Contains: None of the common allergens
Method
- Trim and slice the courgette; no need to peel.
- Steam 8 minutes until very soft.
- Blend with the oil. It is watery on its own — thicken with a spoon of any other purée if you like.
- Cool to lukewarm.
Safety: No salt and no sugar. A baby's kidneys cannot handle added salt, and nothing here needs it.
Storage: Fridge 2 days. Freezes but separates; stir well after defrosting.
Tip: Mild and green. Mixing it half and half with sweet potato is how most babies come to like it.
